Kuu immediately returned carrying a large watermelon with him, he broke it into two equal parts using his bare hands good thing he learned some karate when he played the role of a samurai in a movie before. It also surprised Yoko and she laughed after seeing him do it.

"I'm glad you liked my little exhibition." He said as he munched his fruit.

"Now I know why your body was buffed." She said blushing.

"I had to add some buff in my body when I played a samurai role in a movie and learned a little karate."

They were both full after eating the watermelon but the rain still hasn't stopped it even poured more heavily. Kuu wanted to add more heat in the room by burning more firewood but he already used all of it.

"There are no more wood to burn and there is only one blanket for us to share, if you don't mind we could hug each other to heat ourselves. But if you don't want to do that it's fine by me I will bear with the cold even if I don't have anything to warm me." He said politely as he knew Yoko would react violently with what he said.

Yoko thought about it for a moment and looked back at Kuu to see him in a tailor sitting position with his arms wrapped around him shivering. Kuu went outside of the rain to get something for them to eat and was not able to dry himself that must be the reason why he is shivering, she thought to herself.

"Kuu are you alright?" she asked looking nervous.

"Of course don't worry about me." He said his voice shaking form the cold weather.

"You are telling a lie if you are fine then why does your voice sound like that and the way you are shivering right now that does not look like you are feeling fine." She said with tears pouring down her eyes.

He knew she was crying and wanted to comfort her; slowly he walked to her and pulled her close to him. His left arm wrapped tightly around her chest, his right thumb wiping the tears from her eyes. After wiping her tears, their eyes met and both of them knew what their eyes wanted to say to each other and his breathing became labored as he knew he can't control himself anymore.

Forgive me Juliena.

He said to himself before as he placed his right hand to her shin pulling it close to him as she kissed her. Her mind tells her to pull away from the kiss but her body was numb and unable to move for his kiss was enough to paralyze her.

He slowly pushed Yoko in her back still not breaking the kiss as she was on her back Kuu ceased the kissing and looked at Yoko's eyes as if asking permission if she wanted him to continue.

"We can stop here if you want to, but let me tell you one thing before giving your answer I will take responsibility of whatever will be the consequence of this in the future."

She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him close to own his lips and the rest was history.

As days went by and they both returned to their usual work the night they spend together did not stop there, it continued and they have an affair. At first they were both hesitant for they were hurting people whom they are already committed to, but the love they have for each other which was thwarted by fate and to have it back again cannot be set aside again.

Everything was going well Kuu is careful enough not to make Yoko pregnant. They would meet once or twice a week depending on Kuu's schedule. On times when they would not meet Yoko is doing her job writing and going on date with Himuro. But one time things did not go well with Kuu and Yoko because Himuro saw them together and it made him really angry.

At first he did not ask anything about her relationship with Kuu he played the stupid boyfriend as if waiting for the right chance to do his move. When the right time came for Himuro he did not hesitate anymore and put his plan into action.

He asked for a date with Yoko in his home and they had a few drinks enough to make Yoko drunk and when she was drunk that is when Himuro forced himself into her. She was crying in the morning when Himuro was done with her Yoko never though a kind man like Himuro would do such a disgraceful thing to her.

"You should have not betrayed me I loved you but you chose to have an affair with that actor. Don't worry no one will know you had an affair with that man but I will leave you alone to bear that child I impregnate you with to raise it alone." Himuro said after wearing his clothes.

"You have no heart Himuro to do this to me."

"Don't blame me, besides if that man loves you so much he should take responsibility to that even if it's not his own."

That event almost broke her losing Himuro and being pregnant with him, she did not see Kuu since that day and he knew something must be troubling her so he decided to see her.

"I was worried about you did anything bad happened?" Kuu asked looking worried for Yoko.

"I just want this to stop I can't bear with it anymore." She answered crying.

"But how about our feelings doesn't it matter anymore?"

"You have a family now I don't want to break it. I know about our sin and it should be stopped right now. Leave me alone Kuu and forget about me, I don't deserve your love. Maybe we really aren't supposed to be together." She said crying as she left Kuu alone in her home

That was the last time they saw and heard each other. After finishing his shoot in Kyoto, Kuu decided to leave Japan to follow his family and pursue his acting career there ending the life of Hozu Shuuhei in Japan leaving his affair with Yoko behind.

Yoko changed her name to Mogami Saena and swore revenge on both Himuro and Kuu when her daughter Kyoko was born. Her first target was Himuro and she asked help from the organized crime syndicate to take care of him, it cost her lots of money so she used all of her savings and earnings. Kyoko who was born out of her mistakes had to suffer with her mom's coldness towards her. And now that Kuu is within her reach she can have her revenge on him.


AN: I would love to detail the scene inside the hut between Kuu and Saena but this fic is rated Teen so I did not detail that particular scene and also Himuro's advantage on Saena.
